Twitter is a decision engine. Interestingly, Google grabbed my prior post here at mlstotts.com and not my original post of the concision engine meme from 35 mintues prior on Twitter. Had to use my greasemonkey script that searches twitter and drops results on to my Google SERPs. This is kind of like complaing about the US Postal service when they come to your house everyday, pickup up folded pieces of paper and drive, fly, train and truck them cross country directly to another person's home or office...for 50 cents or something. But still, interesting don't you think?

I am running a test using “concision engine” to describe Twitter -- a two-word phrase that does not return a single result in google as of 20june09. I’m extending the experiment by posting the phrase “concision engine” in many places on the web to see how it all ranks and when it turns up in google.
